August 5, 2021: Open Meetings 

On Thursday, August 5, 2021, the

session from 1:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

From 1:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., Chair 

Haley Barbour will welcome members, 

review and approve the August 5–6, 

2021 quarterly Governing Board meeting 

agenda, and approve minutes from the 

May 14–15, 2021 quarterly Governing 

Board meeting. 

From 1:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m., Lesley

Governing Board, will provide an 

update on ongoing work, followed by an 

update from the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) from 1:45 

p.m. to 2:15 p.m. 

From 2:15 p.m. to 2:45 p.m., the 

Chairs of Standing Committees will 

provide updates on ongoing work. Two 

action items will be presented for 

Governing Board vote based on 

recommendations made by the 

Executive Committee—the nomination 

for Governing Board Vice Chair for the 

term October 1, 2021–September 30, 

2022, and a recommendation to change 

the Long-Term Trend Administration in

After a 15-minute break, from 3:00

in two closed sessions from 12:30 p.m. 

to 1:15 p.m. and thereafter in open 

session from 2:15 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

The first closed session will convene 

from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to receive 

a briefing from Peggy Carr, Associate 

Commissioner of NCES, and Lesley 

Muldoon on the NAEP Budget and 

Assessment Schedule. The briefing and 

Governing Board discussions may affect 

current and future NAEP contracts and 

budgets and must be kept confidential 

to maintain the integrity of the federal 

acquisition process. Public disclosure of 

this confidential information would 

significantly impede implementation of 

the NAEP assessment program if 

conducted in open session. Such 

matters are protected by exemption 9(B) 

of § 552b(c) of Title 5 of the United 

States Code. 

The second closed session will

receive briefings from NCES on two 

upcoming releases—the Long-Term 

Trend Assessment and the High School 

Transcript Study. This session must be 

closed because both sets of results are 

not yet publicly released. Such matters 

are protected by exemption 9(B) of 

§ 552b of Title 5 U.S.C. 

The Governing Board will reconvene 

in open session from 2:15 p.m. to 3:30 

p.m. to receive a briefing from Ebony 

Walton, NCES, on understanding 

patterns of similar NAEP results across 

different subject areas. Following this 

session, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., 

departing members whose terms of 

service will end on September 30, 2021 

will provide farewell remarks. The 

August 6, 2021 session of the Governing 

Board meeting will adjourn at 4:30 p.m. 

The Quarterly Board meeting and 

committee meeting agendas, together 

with meeting materials will be posted 

on the Governing Board’s website at 

www.nagb.gov no later than five 

working days prior to each meeting.
